Frankford Arsenal Quick-N-EZ 110V Vibratory Case Tumbler Quick-N-EZ Standard Media Separator for Reloading

Great tumbler for the price but make sure you buy a transformer for uk use to drop the voltage to 120 volts and it's still cheaper than buying a w30 volt tumbler

This was bought in October for a Christmas present. We then had to buy the tumbling media and so it wasn't actually turned on until the 13th of January so outside the return window. Within a few seconds of turning it on smoke came billowing out of the machine. It was clearly about to catch fire. On checking the safety label it says 120 v. The UK is 240 v so how they are allowed to sell these here is beyond me

I started it up for the first time, noticed it would start and stop, then it stopped completely and started to billow smoke!

Finally got round to trying this out. Within a few seconds it suddenly stopped vibrating, and smoke started billowing out from it!

Der Behälter hat eine hohe Kapazität und ist im Betrieb viel leiser als mein altes Gerät von der gleichen Marke

I'm not punishing on my gear, so far I've done 50 cases of .223 Rem, 20 cases of .257 Wby, and another 20 cases of .270 Win with Lyman corn media. It's done a great job of polishing them all up. Vibratory function is pretty good and the media capacity is good. Throw the cases in for a couple hours and call 'em done, shiny brass (after wiping down with dry cloth) with very little tarnish. A perfectionist might go a few hours longer and wipe them with brass polish, but my cases are extremely clean coming out of this and I have no worries running them through my dies as far as particulate building up and damaging them. For the cost, it works very well. This is not a high-volume beast, I probably wouldn't do more than 40 large rifle cases, 60-70 small rifle cases, 70-100 pistol cases personally. I assembled with blue thread locker on the threads of the center shaft and base screws, and be sure not to overtighten anything, it's all plastic. Just barely snug on the wing nut - the lid isn't going anywhere. It's sitting on a concrete floor and works perfectly for me.

Primera prueba con maíz, no quedó como esperaba, aunque me recomendaron usarse con cáscaras de nuez… Entonces a seguir probando. Muy recomendado para limpieza por vibración.

I use this to polish rocks from stages 2-4 with ceramic media and grit and a small amount of water, just enough to get the grit to stick to the stones. It does a very nice job for this application- average time to complete each stage is 2-3 days vs. 7+ in a rotary tumbler. You still need to use a rotary tumbler for the first stage as a vibratory tumbler won’t round off or blunt sharp edges, but it does a nice job smoothing the surfaces without really changing the shape of the rocks. You do have to watch to make sure the rocks and media stay moist the entire time- you don’t want the grit to dry on the rocks or in the machine or you’ll have a terrible concrete-like mess to clean up. You’ll also not want to add too much water or you’ll end up with a thick slurry in the bottom of the tumbler and it will significantly slow the movement of the rocks around in the tumbler and hinder the vibration action. Like any vibratory tumbler, this tumbler is loud, but not as loud as some other vibratory tumblers I have tried that were so loud that I had to wear ear protection just to walk into the room. You’ll want to use it in a workshop or garage and check it at least twice a day to make sure you are maintaining the right amount of moisture in it and the rocks are freely moving through the ceramic media without lagging on the bottom too long. So far, the tumbler has been running continuously for 2 weeks straight with only 20-30 minutes off every few days while I dump the rocks and media and thoroughly scrub out the vibration bowl before adding the next stage’s clean ceramic media and grit and the rocks back in. Even in my garage in the summer, the tumbler has not overheated or had any issues with basically having continuous 24/7 use. I am very impressed with the performance considering the lower price point. I liked it so much that I just purchased a second unit that I will use exclusively for the final polishing stage! Note: I do have the cover on it at night and when I have to go away for more than 4 hours to help preserve the moisture level when I can’t check it frequently. I don’t have young children or animals that I have to worry about sticking hands or paws in it or knocking it over. Having the cover on does cut the noise level a little bit, but it also holds the heat in that is generated by the friction of the vibration, so you’ll notice the rocks and media feel warmer when you open the cover after a few hours than it would feel if you are running it without the cover on. At no time ever have the rocks been hot to the touch- just slightly warm.
